It took writer/producer Rafael Jordan just over three years to get the project greenlit and completed.
During the scene where a British soldier is attacked by several natives, one of the natives' axes had a nail sticking out of it. The stuntman playing the soldier would have been seriously injured as he was hit repeatedly with the axe, but his chainmail armor actually protected him.
The language spoken by Ananias at the end of the film is Icelandic, the closest living language to Old Norse.
During the sparring match between Ananias (Adrian Paul) and George (Rhett Giles), actor Rhett Giles accidentally smacked Adrian Paul with a wooden sword twice - once on the foot, and once in the face, which left a small bruise for several days.
Torrential downpours on the very first day of shooting delayed production nearly 5 hours.
